  • Title: Hereditary sensory neuropathy type II without trophic changes.
    Author: Bye AM, Baker WD, Pollard J, Wise G.
    Journal: Dev Med Child Neurol; 1990 Feb; 32(2):164-71. PubMed ID: 2338180.
    Abstract:
    Three cases with sensory peripheral neuropathies are reported. Case 1 presented with scoliosis, and cases 2 and 3 presented with abnormal gait. None had trophic limb changes, evidence of weakness, or a tendency to self-mutilation and each had normal motor studies on neurophysiological testing. Sural nerve biopsies showed a severe loss of myelinated fibres and case 3 had evidence of denervation on muscle biopsy. These cases are presented as examples of hereditary sensory neuropathy type II. They are unusual in that they do not have trophic changes.
